"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 59"
- What are you doing? - Stop moving.
What are you doing?
Let go of me.
Mi Er.
Let me tell you...
I'll never let you go.
Our wedding tomorrow will be held as scheduled.
Are you crazy? You...
Mi Er.
I won't allow you to leave me.
You look gloomy.
Guess you're still unable to make up your mind.
It has been years.
Don't you want to know the truth?
Aren't you curious who is the culprit...
who had framed you after murdering the previous Water Immortal...
and put you in such misery?
The closer I'm to the truth, the more afraid I get.
Looks like you know it very well.
When I was in the Heaven Realm,
I used to abhor evils as deadly foes.
To me, life is either black or white.
In order to find out the assassin who framed Run Yu...
and attempted to murder me,
I'd used some tactics.
It has never occurred to me that...
so many people are involved in it.
Yan You,
Rat Immortal,
Su Li, Water Immortal...
and also the whole Water Tribe in Dong Ting Lake...
no one had survived the misfortune.
Even my parents got sucked into the row.
So what if the truth is unraveled?
Husband and wife fall out of love...
siblings fight with each other...
father and son turn against and revenge each other.
In the game that had shaken up the Heaven Realm...
no one won.
A mistake will always be a mistake.
Someone has to be held responsible for making the mistake.
Water Immortal and Wind Immortal were brutally murdered...
and you get the blame.
If we let the murderer get off scot-free...
I worry that she would take the chance...
and cause harm to other innocent people.
You're right.
I'm overly sympathetic.
No.
You're closely involved in it, so you can't see the bigger picture.
She has always been in love with you.
I know.
It's a tough decision to make.
I'm sorry to make you go through all these just to help me out.
I feel very bad for Mu Ci and King of Biancheng.
You're being overly polite again.
Mu Chi and my father are always open-minded...
and not easily affected by others.
Xu Feng, don't worry.
Furthermore, false can never be true especially in Demon Realm.
Not everyone can pass the test of Sincerity Stone.
Xu Feng.
After we get married...
I'll find the cure of the adverse effect of Nine Spins Elixir...
even if I have to turn Heaven Realm upside down.
You've such incomparable beauty, princess.
It's unparalleled in the world.
You'll pass the test of Sincerity Stone for sure...
as both of you are a match made in heaven.
What's Sincerity Stone?
Xu Feng.
Don't blame me.
I believe our feelings are mutual.
But love won't be able to stand any test.
Pu Chi.
Why is the summon spell not working?
Congratulations, Heavenly Empress.
You've got it wrong.
There is no Heavenly Empress here.
Today is your wedding day with His Majesty.
You deserve to be called the Heavenly Empress.
Congratulations, Heavenly Empress.
In the six realms,
a loyal person like His Majesty is the rarest of the rare.
Indeed.
In this world...
it's impossible for a man to treat a woman to perfection.
Even if such man exists, it's just false impression.
All the love and devotion are merely false impression.
If you've never experienced it...
you'd never understand...
the merciless reign of terror that's hidden behind the peace.
The auspicious moment is approaching.
You should start dressing up, Heavenly Empress.
Anyone can be the Heavenly Empress if she wants to.
In another word, I won't be the Heavenly Empress.
Heavenly Empress.
What's going on?
Your Majesty.
Enough. You may leave now.
I need to talk to Water Immortal in private.
Yes.
Enough. Leave now. Leave.
Since I'm here...
why didn't you stand up to welcome my presence, my beauty?
Well...
you shouldn't treat me so shabbily just because I adore you.
Beauty.
You should know that, besides the Heavenly Empress,
the Heavenly Emperor is entitled to marry many Heavenly Concubines.
Beauty.
Look at me.
Can you spot the difference?
You're so stubborn.
Let me teach you a lesson then.
Beauty.
Sure.
Your Majesty...
let me serve you and make you happy.
Are you done with the acting, Your Majesty?
- You already know since the beginning? - What do you think?
Do you really think that you're good at acting?
Beauty.
Last night I was summoned by your grievance.
I stayed up for the whole night for you.
Little do you know...
- Run Yu is so cunning. - Fine.
Even Dan Zhu's magic instrument doesn't work anymore.
I had to risk my life to come to your rescue.
Is this how you repay my kindness?
- Alright. - You're so ungrateful.
Pu Chi,
I won't forget your great kindness. Are you happy now?
- I'm hurt. - Don't push it.
Answer me. How did you sneak in?
While the priest climbs a foot...
the devil climbs ten.
You took it under his eyes?
It took me a lot of effort.
Even after Run Yu has become the Heavenly Emperor,
he's still a night owl.
I had no other way but to dilly-dally with him.
I almost fell asleep.
It was a long time before dawn.
Eventually he dozed off and I seized the chance to steal it.
Can you switch back to your own look when talking to me?
I feel so awkward to talk to you when you're wearing this face.
Right? I have the same thought.
I'm the prettiest among the six realms after all.
Are you done?
Listen. Kuang Lu is very sharp.
We mustn't dawdle, we need to go back to the Flora Realm now.
Beauty, just a minute.
Why?
What are you doing?
Hurry up.
Stop it.
You're so annoying.
Let's go.
Your Majesty.
Why are you here?
Have you done decorating the Highest Palace?
You...
Aren't you supposed to visit Water Immortal in Xuan Ji Palace?
Why are you here?
Today is the wedding day of His Majesty.
Buck up, brothers.
- Yes. - Yes.
How is everyone?
Fine.
Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Immortal.
Same goes to you.
Today is my wedding day.
Let's celebrate together.
Everyone will get a red packet each.
I've prepared for everyone. Take it.
I've put in quite an amount of prowess.
Don't lose it. Come.
- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Take it.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Please distribute it.
What are you doing?
What's wrong?
Today is our wedding day.
I'm happy.
Well, it's my wedding day, why do all of you look upset?
Since I'm happy, all of you have to be happy.
When I'm happy, all of you will be rewarded.
Everyone gets rewards.
It's a wedding ritual of the Flora Realm.
Just take it.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Immortal.
We're getting married tonight.
Please be highly committed while doing your duty.
I will not maltreat all of you.
Please be rest assured, Your Majesty.
We will do our best to protect the palace.
Po Jun Star Guardian,
those thugs from the Demon Realm will go to any length to get inside.
Chances are they will assume my look to deceive all of you.
Understood.
Your Majesty, are you alright?
You're merciless.
It's bedroom fun.
Here comes the silly. Here comes the silly.
I took the liberty to borrow Water Immortal...
to look into the true meaning of joint cultivation.
Yan You.
I'm dead!
Where is the Water Immortal?
Such a bold fanatic.
How dare you impersonate as the Heavenly Emperor?
Take him down.
How dare you!
You can't even recognise me?
His Majesty owns an ancient treasure, the Mermaid Tears.
How do you prove your identity?
General...
you only acknowledge the Mermaid Tears.
What about me and the Red Cloud Sword?
I deserve to be punished.
There was a fanatic who had impersonated as Your Majesty.
He has kidnapped the Water Immortal.
I didn't realise earlier. I deserve to be punished.
How long they had left?
About an hour.
Follow me.
Yes.
I am not marrying him!
This is what happened.
What?
It's truly impossible to judge a man's heart from his face.
A bad tree can't bear good fruit.
The current Heavenly Emperor...
is even crueler than Tai Wei, that Heavenly Emperor.
Jin Mi.
The Flora Realm will do its best to protect you.
We won't be able to conceal the news that you fled away for too long.
We need to be prepared.
Run Yu won't harm me.
Our priority is to find Pengyu...
to save Xu Feng from the adverse effect of the Nine Spins Elixir.
Pengyu grows nearby the lake.
Let Lao Hu bring you there.
Oh no!
The Heavenly Emperor is here with the Divine Army.
That's quick.
We mustn't let Jin Mi end up in his hands again.
Bring along Jin Mi and hide away at the back of the palace.
I'll deal with the rest.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Leave now. - Leave.
Let's go.
I didn't expect that you would be here.
We apologise if our reception was not up to your expectation.
Chief Zhang, how are you?
Why are you here?
I'm here in the Flora Realm for 2 reasons.
Firstly, to pick up Mi Er.
Secondly, to invite all of you...
to The Empyrean Heaven to attend my wedding...
and be our witnesses.
What's the matter?
Jin Mi is not in the Heaven Realm?
Someone has deceived Mi Er.
She's back to Flora Realm to find a herb called Pengyu...
to cure the Demon Lord, Xu Feng.
What's wrong?
Have you not seen her?
Our chief has gone missing as Heaven Realm was not guarded properly.
The Flora Realm didn't blame the Heaven Realm.
You have the audacity to ask for her from us?
There are some misunderstandings that you don't know about.
However, I don't wish to let this trifling matter...
affect our good relationship.
Misunderstanding?
You've brought along the well-armed Divine Army...
and barged into the Flora Realm.
I'm terrified.
I wonder what is the misunderstanding.
I had no other choice. Sorry for being rude.
Our wedding has been announced to the Six Realms.
Jin Mi has been known as the Heavenly Empress.
I hope that all of you would help me to find Jin Mi...
for the sake of the general prospect.
This is only your side of the story.
Jin Mi is not a young and ignorant infant.
She must have left for a reason.
If all of you insist to conceal her fault...
then don't blame me for being rude.
You...
How dare you!
Your Majesty, this is Flora Realm.
Since the primordial era, the Flora Realm...
has been an essential part of the Heaven Realm.
As the late Flower Immortal died young the late Heavenly Emperor was lenient.
The governance power had fallen into other's hand.
All of you have been...
interfering the governance power for a couple thousands of years.
Have you...
forgotten about the mutual respect between ruler and subordinates?
We're just following the command of the former chief. How could we...
Your Majesty.
Please enlighten me.
A subordinate should behave like one.
You better pray that Jin Mi becomes the Heavenly Empress as planned.
In this way...
the Flora Realm will be in peace for a long time.
- No entry. - No entry.
Come out.
You cross me in everything.
Don't disappoint our deceased mother.
Run Yu.
Stop making mistakes already.
Where is Jin Mi?
She has left the Flora Realm.
She has gone.
You don't believe me?
If she has left the Flora Realm...
you wouldn't stay here and try to buy her time.
Give it to me.
- What? - What did you steal from me?
It depends on your ability to get it back.
Immortal Shang Yuan.
Heard that Water Immortal has fled.
Will the wedding go on as planned?
It'll go on as planned.
Yes.
Jin Mi!
- Lian Qiao. - Why are you here?
I'm looking for Pengyu.
It's no where to be seen.
Pengyu?
Could it be that one?
Which one?
The thing that you're looking for...
looks like a mini umbrella and feather-like, right?
Yes. That's the one.
Have you seen it? Where is it?
Jin Mi.
Few days back, my mother harvested all of them...
to make mutton dumplings for me.
What are you saying?
Do you know that it can save lives?
You can make dumplings with onions or carrot.
Why must you use Pengyu?
I don't like onions.
Lao Hu won't agree if I use carrots.
You misused the treasure! I really wish to...
What should we do now, Jin Mi?
Don't touch me.
Stop blaming her.
- We have time to grow another one. - Lao Hu.
How to grow it?
Mi Er.
Lao Hu, where is Pengyu?
Pengyu has yet to grow.
You...
Protect me with your spell. I'll grow it now.
Okay.
Come on.
Hong Hong.
Heard that the Heavenly Emperor has set traps in Flora Realm...
to look for Little One.
Don't panic. Yan You is buying us time.
I wasn't able to delay him.
You...
Mi Er,
I think he is extremely determined to bring you back.
Can all of you try to buy me an hour?
Yes.
We must slow him down at all cost.
Hong Hong, we'll count on you this time round.
It's been a while since I've retired.
I'll give it a try.
Okay. Give it a try.
It's The Love Knot Spell.
Hong Hong,
it's been 6,000 years since I last saw you cast this spell.
The best spell should be used at the crucial time.
You're still very much capable.
Judging by Run Yu's prowess...
he won't be able to break the barrier spell in less than 3 hours.
- Mi Er, don't worry. - Sure.
Pu Chi, stay back and protect Jin Mi.
The rest of us will work separately to distract the Divine Army.
- We mustn't dawdle. Let's go. - Let's go.
Hurry up.
General, we couldn't find her.
After him!
Don't move.
Your Majesty, Water Immortal is not here.
- You may leave now. - Yes.
Line up in formation!
What a petty skill.
Uncle.
If you still regard me as your uncle...
then listen to my advice.
It's time to let go.
If you still respect me as the Heavenly Emperor...
then stop interfering.
Mi Er.
Actually I should apologise to you.
Why do you need to apologise?
To be honest...
I'm the adopted son of Run Yu's biological mother,
Lord Dong Ting.
No wonder.
No wonder I always feel that...
there's an indistinct bond between you and Run Yu.
Now I know.
I was raised by my foster mother.
The time that I spent with her was so much longer than Run Yu.
She had framed Xu Feng for multiple times...
as she was trying to seek revenge from the former Heavenly Empress.
In order to repay her kindness...
I had made a lot of mistakes that are against my conscience.
No doubt I had taken advantage of you.
I trapped you into attending Heavenly Empress's birthday banquet.
It has really never occurred to me that...
it would lead you into such danger circumstances.
Everything that happened after that...
be it man-made or fate, they were all against my will.
Mi Er, I'm sorry.
I think it's too late to apologise now.
If this had happened earlier...
I wouldn't forgive you.
However, after going through so much sufferings,
I realise things are not just black and white.
Nothing in this world remains permanent and unchanged.
I'll never forget that...
you're the one who rescued me and Rou Rou from Qiong Qi.
I'm always indebted to you for your help.
You're my friend.
You have been and will always be my friend.
Mi Er, since our misunderstanding has been resolved,
is it possible to bring our relationship to the next level?
I've been matchmaking for thousands of years.
I've learnt a lesson from it.
Forced love doesn't work.
Why are you so obsessed with her?
The most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart.
It could be easily changed.
Why should I give up?
Human heart can't withstand scheming.
Jin Mi doesn't fall for you not because you're inferior to Xu Feng,
but all the most persevering and flagitious artifices...
are nothing like a pure heart.
Ask yourself...
since young, have you ever open up to anyone?
Others might not know about the unfavourable situation I was in,
but you should know better.
If I open my heart to others and make any mistakes,
I'll be doomed eternally.
Not everyone will cause harm to you like Tu Yao.
If you never open up to others how could you expect the others...
- to care for you and... - to put themselves in your shoes?
All this while...
no one has put themselves in my place and think about my feelings.
When I was at the scariest and most helpless moment...
no one had ever stood up and spoken up for me.
Now,
none of you has the right to judge and make indiscreet remarks against me.
Jin Mi!
Something bad happened!
What's wrong, Lian Qiao?
The Heavenly Emperor and Moon Immortal are fighting.
Judging by the situation, the Moon Immortal will be defeated soon.
Jin Mi!
Pu Chi, please give this to Phoenix.
It's your blood and sweat.
Give it to him by yourself.
I can't leave now.
If I leave, the Flora Realm will be doomed.
Please.
You...
Why must you give up all the snakes...
because of a bird and be with a dragon instead?
Let me tell you. Don't think that Run Yu is innocent.
Actually, his heart is even murkier and darker than Tai Lake's sludge.
He is an evil person with bad temper.
He distrusts people and bears grudges.
If you go on like this, you will be hurt by him.
By that time, he will destroy you until nothing is left.
Go on.
Why don't you go on?
I'm curious about how evil I am.
Oh, godmother's death anniversary is coming soon.
I need to prepare offerings for her.
I'll leave first.
Are you done throwing tantrum? Return with me.
As long as the wedding is successfully held tonight,
everything will be fine like how it used to be.
I will not find out who is to blame.
Where is Jin Mi?
My mother has asked me to go home for dinner.
You...
I'm so tired.
Why are you more tired than I do?
You always take your own sweet time and delay our plan.
It is not easy to deal with Run Yu.
It wasn't easy to run away from him.
I had to keep using camouflage spell...
and avoid being caught by the Divine Army to come here.
- Do I have it easy? - You had a tough journey?
You aren't carrying anyone. How is that difficult compared to me?
I had to carry her all the way from the Flora Realm.
I almost sprained my waist.
My legs are tired too.
I have never seen such a heavy frost flower.
How much did she eat as she grows up?
- Is she heavy? Let me try. - Don't even think about it!
Do you still want her to marry the Demon Lord?
If you continue to act like this, it will be too late.
- Boatman, bring us across the river. - Alright.
Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, we have searched everywhere.
There is no sign of the Water Immortal.
Inform all the six realms.
Starting from today, Flora Realm will be sanctioned.
For each day that Jin Mi stays outside,
I will kill a chief each day.
Don't even think about it!
Chief Zhang, Chief Zhang!
- Chief Zhang! - Sister Zhang!
Even if you destroy the entire Flora Realm,
we won't let you find Jin Mi.
You should be killed for attacking the Heavenly Emperor.
Tomorrow you will be the first to be killed.
